About 18ish months ago I bought into a new engine program Eric and PMB were starting up. If you have seen me in person I've probably talked your ear off about it. Sorry about that, I've been pretty excited.
Mine is No2 off their line, and its crated up in Utah waiting for the shipper to pick it up. So its really real time here in Dallastown, and I've started getting my 2056 ready to come out. The new engine! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-1435-1679065407.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/live.staticflickr.com-1435-1679065409.2.jpg) I *think* (and could be wrong) that Eric also used my motor as the promotional model for Facebook and his Web storefront - though that could have been Risdal's engine which was right behind mine. Eric and Larry did a lot of testing on the #1 engine in Jim's car, got a lot of driving data at Red Rocks last fall, and then had to wait on components to come in that resulted from that real world testing. My engine was crated last week. I asked Eric to include some other things (including his new brake lines and new pads), paid the final invoice for parts and shipping and the engine will hopefully be in my garage next week! @Stratplayer @Eric_Shea |

teasing...and I should talk...but this feels like a movie series of Zach putting another engine in his car. Lets see... The stock engine The 2056 pre-rebuild The 2056 post rebuild 2056 now with fuel injection now the 2.3 So, yeah. I've done 5 significant engine changes for this car. Which sounds bad until you consider i've had it now for 18years (holy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) !!!) I think it was the last engine thread where my eldest son was probably a touch younger working on the car then Josh is on this one now. Zach |
